Default October 1 Tomato Harvest

Was in Huntsville, AL 5 days. Upon return home thought I might have a couple of dozen ripe fruits. Wrong, I harvested about 40 lbs. Vorlon, Missouri Rose, Cherokee Purple, and Purple Elgin are all producing late tomatoes really well.

Have to admit, it is a good haul for October. Looks like ok October weather at least until the middle of month. I will be going to Nova Scotia for 10 days in the middle of the month so don't know what the weather will do when I am gone.

Beautiful, Greg! Hoe does the Purple Elgin taste? I've been growing Elgin Pink and like that flavor. It also produced larger and more tomatoes earlier.

Really nice! You should go back to Huntsville for a few days and get some more!

Purple Elgin's flavor is very good. I grew one plant and it struggled early even though we had great spring weather. Thought more than once about pulling it, but it hung on and looks great now.

Just got home from a trip to N.C. by way of IL, IN, KY,TN,VA and back again with the addition of MO. When I looked at my tomatoes it was nothing like yours. What a great haul.

Oh what I could do with those beautiful tomatoes.
Salsa out the gad zoo.
Speaking of salsa I haven't had a thing to eat today besides 3 peppers.

What a great haul Greg! That Purple Elgin looks wonderful! If you have enough seeds for a trade I would be interested! I am looking to grow more black/purple varieties..
